Re: Purpose of Sending Prophets
Peace again sharaabee
Sounds like a sick game? Now let’s analyse this … first of all why does is sound like a sick game? Most certainly it is because you are trying to assume the position of God with the same impurities of your own human mind. One cannot cast our standards on to God … That is self-deception. Next, we should think that if it is indeed the conclusion that we arrive at, that this life is a test then it is futile trying to rationalise it as something like a game or not … for on that basis why do we seek success in this life? Why do we seek pleasure? Are we playing games with ourselves? And if we do other than what we are here to do - then for sure we are not going to end up in a place which is in our benefit. So sick game or not - it is in our favour to comply with the law of God and it is not an excuse to do otherwise because we think it is a game. Next, we look to the moral sense of accountability within us - if some human does us a favour then we feel it necessary to thank them … so how much more crucial is it for us to thank The One Who gave us life and sustains us in every moment? Next, we don’t have to understand something in order to comply. It is a big misnoma that we aught to understand something in order to practice it … and this standard is most zealously applied to religion … Next, how else should a Creator be?
Let’s say that we want a Creator to create us without a purpose - well then in that case we can each create our own purpose after the fact and annihilate one another - because that is what will happen … We in turn should not have a sense of right and wrong and we will be like animals and hence we will not even ask the question about what our purpose is … I think it would be a sicker game that God gave us the ability to recognise our own selves and contain moral motive yet not provide us any purpose - I find that more like a game that we have no purpose but God made us in a way where we think we do have a purpose … And if we are not Created with a purpose then we are not important and if we are not important then how will this be taken by you - who considers yourself so important that you feel God’s plan for us is insufficient … We are left with a contradiction that we are so important that we believe God didn’t give us any importance …
I really hope that you see the alternative of not having a purpose to worship God betrays our sense of reason … whereas the former betrays only your sense of immediate self worth … you want to be left alone, but you fail to realise that all these bounties are given to you by The One … God.
